"You're not going to chicken out, are you?"
Xia Che silently turned his head, the corners of his mouth slowly widening, his expression full of mockery, "Pfft."
"Who's a coward? Who's a coward?!"
As expected, Jiang Yu was enraged and, in a fit of pique, lunged at Xia Che.
Xia Che, who was squatting on the ground, felt as if someone had bumped into him while carrying a ball, and then felt a fragrant breeze waft over.
Jiang Yu shyly clung to Xia Che's back, not daring to lift her head. She felt as if her whole body was on fire, as if she were constantly bursting into flames.
Even the breath I exhaled was warm.
The hairs on Xia Che's neck were being blown around by Jiang Yu's hot breath, making him feel itchy and experiencing a feeling he couldn't describe.
It felt like stepping on an electric shock.
"Hey, you, you... don't mess around."
Xia Che felt himself becoming strange. He originally wanted to see Jiang Yu make a fool of herself, but if this continued, Jiang Yu would end up making a fool of herself.
"Shut up and get out of here."
Jiang Yu didn't dare to lift her head. Although she knew Xia Che definitely hadn't said anything nice, she was so shy that she was practically burning up and didn't have time to cause trouble for Xia Che.
She could only curl up into a ball to minimize the contact area between her back and Xia Che's.
"oh……"
Xia Che shook his head, banishing the thoughts from his mind, warning himself that he must not make a mistake. Jiang Yu was one of the female leads, and he simply wanted to help her. He couldn't take advantage of her vulnerability. Then he quickly walked out of the classroom.
"I'll give you the money to repair the wheelchair."
"besides……"
"Thanks."
Jiang Yu kept her head very low, her voice barely audible.
If Xia Che weren't there, she really wouldn't know what to do.
Upon hearing this, Xia Che paused for a moment, then smiled slightly without replying.
But the smile on his lips was impossible to suppress.
...
The darkening sky became the backdrop, and the streets were silent.
Suddenly, a series of light footsteps sounded from the street corner, and then a pair of people who looked completely out of place walked out.
A pretty girl with delicate features was seen lying on the back of a fierce-looking blond man without any precautions, burying her face in his arms. It was clearly voluntary.
It's easy to tell from their school uniforms that they are a high school couple who have secretly engaged in premarital sex.
This scene almost broke the hearts of passersby who occasionally walked by.
Such a beautiful girl, I wonder whose white moonlight she would be, and yet she was taken by that blond guy?
You son of a bitch, you damn blond guy...
From then on, Jiang City had a few more people who hated Huang Mao.
"His back... is so warm."
Jiang Yu, who was perched on Xia Che's back, had gradually become more comfortable after the initial shyness and was now secretly observing Xia Che carrying her out of the corner of her eye.
Although part of the reason Jiang Yu was willing to let Xia Che carry her was because she was provoked by him, this was indeed the first time Jiang Yu had such close contact with a man.
Moreover, excluding their first encounter on the bus, the two officially met today.
Why would you ask someone you've just met to carry you?
In the past, she wouldn't have dared to even think about killing Jiang Yu, let alone do such a thing.
Imagine the psychological pressure on Jiang Yu, a girl who has been single since childhood and whose only conversations with men have been brief exchanges while shopping, to have Xia Che carry her home on their very first day of knowing each other.
Shyness is understandable...
"How strange. I thought he would be a bad guy like those others who would bully me, but now it seems... that's not the case?"
"Is she genuinely kind, or..."
"A temporary disguise?"
Jiang Yu snapped out of her embarrassment, her burning cheeks gradually cooled, and her shyness faded, replaced by calmness.
To survive in this society, Jiang Yu has to work harder than the average person, which makes her think twice when she encounters things that would be considered lucky by most people.
For example, try to figure out what the other person is thinking, or simply consider the worst-case scenario.
This is one of Jiang Yu's ways of protecting herself.
If my guess is correct, then I've already prepared myself mentally and won't be too upset.
If the guess is wrong, then Jiang Yu will be glad...
I realized I was actually lucky this time.
Jiang Yu's tendency to lose her composure when faced with excessive kindness and concern from her classmates in Class 7, and her current thoughts, are all forms of self-protection.
This method is certainly very effective, but it also means that Jiang Yu's mood will become very bad when she considers the worst-case scenario.
The door to my heart, which had been quietly opened a crack, was then gently closed again.
Don't be too happy.
However, one should not become complacent or overconfident.
They all have ulterior motives; as long as you don't fall for their tricks, you won't embarrass yourself...
Jiang Yu kept repeating the prayer in her heart. When she opened her eyes again, her beautiful eyes gradually returned to clarity, and the slight flutter in her heart caused by Xia Che gradually disappeared.
"Phew...are we almost there?"
Xia Che, who was focused on traveling, was unaware that the little girl on his back had already completed her self-protection mechanism. He looked around and realized that they were now quite far from Weiyang. This road was rather remote, and he had never traveled it before.
Just a moment ago I could see a few passersby every now and then, but now there aren't any at all.
Does Jiang Yu walk this route to and from school every day?
one person?
Using... a wheelchair?
Xia Che's mood suddenly became heavy.
He realized that even though he had tried his best to understand Jiang Yu's life, it was still far from enough to cover even a fraction of the difficulties she encountered.
What you learn from comics can never compare to experiencing it firsthand.
No one can truly empathize unless you wear their shoes and walk the path they walked. The value of this statement is only increasing.
These kinds of days...
How did she manage to persevere?
"Hello?"
Xia Che felt a little depressed. He wanted to find a light topic to distract himself, but found that Jiang Yu remained silent for a long time.
Even after he called out again, Jiang Yu still did not answer.
Only a steady, gentle warmth, evenly and rhythmically, was breathed on the back of my neck.
"Are you asleep...?"
Xia Che had no choice but to give up. Fortunately, although this place was remote, it wasn't a dirt road without any signs. They were now not far from the urban village where Jiang Yu lived.
Since Jiang Yu is already asleep, I need to speed things up.
He reached out and supported Jiang Yu, who was slipping slightly off his back. His fingers did not linger on the tempting softness for long. Xia Che was a gentleman. How could he take advantage of someone while they were asleep?
If you're going to occupy something, do it openly and honestly.
"Hmm... it's a bit off-center, but it has a strong sense of everyday life."
Xia Che sniffed, smelling the delicious aroma of many dishes.
